Certificates

These undergraduate certificates allow the College of IS&T to offer a path for individuals who do not hold a baccalaureate to advance their education along a focused, professionally-oriented course of study and to have those studies acknowledged, documented, and later applied (should the student so desire) to a related bachelors degree program.

Certificate in Data Management

Data Management (DM) is the practice of managing data-related issues for organizations. Data management practitioners seek to optimize the design, storage, and use of organizational data.

The goal of the certificate is to provide non-traditional and traditional students an opportunity to take a focused set of undergraduate courses and earn a certificate of completion. Prospective students in the workplace who have only an Associate Degree would benefit from advanced certifications in targeted areas. Such certifications fit with organizational professional development requirements and could be used, at the discretion of the organization, as professional development units (PDUs).

The data management certificate is intended for students who do not have an undergraduate degree. However, should a student decide to pursue a degree after starting or completing the certificate program, all credits taken for a certificate can be applied towards the completion of an undergraduate degree in the college.
